and two daughters One of the daughters
was all invalid and the other became the
mailstay of the little family. Like too many

Marriage Should Be Waited For.

Marriage, it seems to me, should be waited
for, not sought. Who knows round what
corner his destiny may be hiding-at what
unexpected turn he may come upon the face
above all faces for him' To put aside as far
as possible tia thought Of marriage until
compelled to think Of it by some strong and
special attraction toward some special per-

chance acquaintance the possible husband or

German Carp.

A writer in an exchange says in Civ.
ing his experience with German carp
culture, |wo years ago last summer [
made a pond by dammipg broai
slough thirty rods below a small spring
dug ditch around the pond and turn
ed the main stream around so as TO
prevent danger of breaking dam or
filing pond with sediment. In the
fall I obtained twenty carp, three inch
es long; one year ago this fall l got
forty more. This fall in Sept. l saw
them for the first time, and we caught
one that was two feet long and was es-
ti,nated to weigh all the way from ten
to twenty pounds. 1t was beautiful
fish. We turned it back into the pond
again as 1 did not know at that
time that we had young carp but 1
since then have seen great numbers of
small ones. I think success depends
upon the most of the pond being shall.
low and having a growth of moss and
water plants in the water, as they are
water feeders, and the warmer the wa
ter the better. II fed by spring if
too close the spring will cool,the pond.
If the pond is used for stock it
should be mostly shallow but with
some places in it six feet deed. And
it is very important every pond should
have drain, say six inch sewer pipe
at the lowest point so all water can be
drained off at least once year, as tur.
ties and native fish will get in and live
upon the eggs and young carp thereby
preventing their increase; this wedding
out is as necessary as the wedding and
ploughing of corn. Be sure to get the
best varieties and if all your conditions
are as above, with little care a small
pond will supply several families with
plenty of fish judging from my limited
experience.

What We Pay for Prejudice.

Opening the pages of newspaper
the other day We found the question 4,
Is it possible for man to form good,
sound opinion upon any matter in
which he is personally interested? Yes,
it is possible, but truth compels the
confession that it::is very unusual. We
are such creatures of education and
prejudice, that the way our face is set
We are apt to keep going all our lives.
In every avenue of life we pay more or
less for the qualification of our preju.
dices. In the dairy many of us pay
dearly for this qualification. We are
welded to old methods and primitive
ways. We are not willing to investi,
gate the new or TO give it fair trial.
Dehorning is good illustration of how
people will shut their eyes to the new.
1t will be recollected what an excite.
ment the first advocacy of dehorning
caused. 1t looks very much now, how
ever, as if all the horns would have to
go. Certainly dehorning has been
growing in popular favor; and We be-
lieve that it is really very costly pre-
judice that will prompt anybody to keep
the horns on. 1t is true that we have
never tried dehorniug, but the more We
weigh the evidence in its favor the more
We are impressed with the usefulness
of the method. Let us throttle our
prejudices and weigh carefully all that
is said upon the subject of the dairy,
and test every new appliance that prom

Profits IN Keeping Sheep.

If farmer has plenty Of patience
and is willing to give close attention
to details in the care Of stock, he can
make more money for food consumed
from sheep than from any other stock,
! But not one farmer in ten will give
them the attention they require at GER
tain seasons of the year; sc, the few
who do take good care of flock will
find good market for mutton, and a
demand for wool at some price, usually
enough to pay for wintering the flock.
A farm which is rolling in its surface
seems perfectly adapted to sheep rails
ing. Such lands need grass on the
hill tops to keep it from washing, and
sheep need hill-tops and sweet short
grass. They like to lie dow on hill
top in the spring, when the sub makes
the ground warm, and where they are
protected from the cold sweep of the
wind. IF there is boulder two feet
high and few feet wide, the lambs
will be perfectly happy while racing
down to the rock and jumping on and
offSSagain. If sheep are salted on cer-
tain day of the week usually, and that
day passes without the usual supply,
chorus of bleating will be raised When
ever the flock master is in sight, until
the coveted supply of salt is given.
They know when the day for salt ar
rives as we'll as the owner does.

Dairy Dots.

Articles of food have great effect on
butter color, says writer. Ensilage
has some effect; carrots have a great
effect; pumpkins are famous for yellow
ing butter; long red and yellow globe
mangles are useful; yellow corn meal is
to be highly recommended, and sys.
tenn of extra good feeding always pro-
longs the period of high-colored butter
There are, however. certain artic les
which effect loss of color at once.
Green corn fodder, dry fodder
steamed, any steamed fodder, and prob.
ably a good many othor things.
This is a time when "butter is butter
so to speak, and no doubt manufactur-
ers of the bogus article would like to
say oleomargarine is butter, says the
y. s. Dairyman. Prices are high and
advancing. 1t is likely, from the pres
ent outlook, that butter will be higher
this winter than for several years. Our
farmers wives should make note Of
this, and endeavor to make an article
that can compete with the oleo and they
can get a good price for it. Poor stuff
is still cheap, but good butter will soon
be forty cents and possibly fifty cents
by mid.winter at retail,
F. D. Curtis writes: The old-fash-
ioned notion to milk only in the morn
lag after COWS drop off in the yield in
winter is a mistake. If worth milking
at all cow is worth milking twice a
day. She will not only give more, but
the milk will be of a great deal better
quality. 1t does not do milk any good
to remain in the under so many hours
after it is secreted; and it does not do
the COW any good. Just why the last
milk drawn is best is unexplained
We know it is the richest, and if the
reason is because it is the last secreted
then the twenty-four hours rule of
milking is poor one in more than one
sense-poor in quantity and quality.
One great advantage which the
creamery has over the dairy is the fact
that as soon as the milk, or cream,
reaches the creamery it is III charge of
skillful workmen, who know how to
manage so as to secure the best results.
There is no hap-hazard work about the
creamery. The clock, Thermometer
and scales are used at every turn.
The famous cow Electra, for which
her owner, A. j. Cowan, of Venango
county, Pa, once refused $40 900 was
sold by him to an Oil City butcher the
other CAV for $50, she having been
ruined by over-feeding, says contem-
porary. Although this COW stood at
the head of all milk producers in this
country few years ago, her pedigree
was meyer known, She came to Cow
ans family as an estray. She was a
famous prize winner.
